Topless Page 3 models could have finally disappeared from mainstream national newspapers after the Daily Star published its last edition of the controversial feature. 

The Sun stopped showing topless Page 3 models in 2015 after high-profile campaigns such as No More Page 3.

But since the April 1 edition the models pictured on Page 3 have been covered up, ending the 50-year tradition in Fleet Street of publishing naked breasts. 

Ellie, 23, from Hertfordshire, could be the final topless model in a national newspaper if the Star keeps its new policy.
